Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mary Marvella has been a storyteller for as long as she can remember. She made up the "Let's Pretend" situations for the neighborhood kids. The arrival of the book mobile was as exciting as hearing the music of the ice cream truck, more, since she could check out books but seldom had the money for the ice cream. Her parents preferred letting her walk to the corner store for less money. She still pinches pennies.

When Mary's daughter was small, story time often meant Mama made up stories. Now retired from teaching the classic works of the masters, Mary writes her own stories and reads modern novels.

Georgia raised, she writes stories with a Southern flair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real view of Christmas
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020
For the Love of Christmas has four stories covering the holidays from Thanksgiving until the New Year. Mary Marvella writes touching tales that will resonate with all. One of the stories is that of somber reality. Not everyone has a merry Christmas. For many, this season is one of hardship, tension, or abuse. Beth experienced a lifetime of being controlled. This Christmas is the turning point of her new life and freedom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read all four stories!
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019
I love reading Mary's work. She takes the time to make the details accurate. These 4 stories are great. Easy to follow. Sometimes wish they were a bit longer but for length just get one of her novels. Totally enjoyed this book!
